By Amara Graps French: Fewer in Surveyed-Number, but More Confident than the Germans “Confident” is how I would describe the French in Figure 5 of QuEra’s recent  Survey Report: The Current and Future State of Quantum Computing. The question to the French respondents was How well-positioned is their country in the global quantum computing industry? […] The post How Confident are the French […]

IonQ has achieved a significant breakthrough by surpassing 99.9% (three 9’s) two-qubit gate fidelity on its next-generation barium development platform. This represents a a 4X improvement over IonQ’s current commercially available systems. This milestone is a critical step toward the company’s technical roadmap of creating high-performance, enterprise-grade quantum systems, advancing the […]

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a $65 million investment in quantum computing to fund 10 projects with a total of 38 separate awards over a five year period. Quantum computing aims to solve large, complex problems in modern science more quickly and efficiently, surpassing the limits of today’s largest supercomputers. This investment […] The post U.S. Department of Energy […]

By Amara Graps Patents: The Intention Patents are a funny thing. Patents: indicate strong support for an idea, demonstrate the level of innovation, manifest the financial support to gain a technology, give social benefit points (China), and may be the only evidence (21 patents), of a technology that was developed, tested, and announced in hundreds […] The post European Patents – When Global […]

State Farm Ventures has invested in Singapore-based quantum computing software company Entropica Labs, extending the company’s Series A round to a total of $5.5 million. This investment marks a significant step in the collaboration between the two companies to drive the adoption of quantum computing technology. Entropica Labs focuses on developing logical design software for […] The post State […]

Oxford Ionics Oxford Ionics, a leader in trapped-ion quantum computing, announced a breakthrough in quantum state preparation and measurement (SPAM), achieving world-record fidelities of 99.9993%. The novel SPAM protocol, developed in collaboration with the University of Oxford’s Department of Physics, delivers a 13x reduction in errors compared to previous approaches. This result further […]

Infleqtion, a leading quantum information company, has been awarded a Phase II contract to collaborate with the Australian Army in the Quantum Technology Challenge (QTC). The project will focus on developing quantum physically unclonable functions (QPUFs) to enhance the reliability and security of quantum systems, providing protection against potential threats such as device spoofing. Infleqtion, […]

EPB Quantum Network℠, powered by Qubitekk, is hosting Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s (ORNL) first commercial quantum network run. ORNL is testing its Automatic Polarization Compensation (APC) technology, which helps maintain the integrity of quantum data transmission by compensating for environmental disruptions like temperature fluctuations. The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) is […]

The Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) has performed a study of over 5,000 quantum job postings that were made on the QED-C and Quantum Computing Report websites in the 2018 to 2023 time frame to ascertain what educational levels the hiring organizations were looking for. Although some my believe that one needs a PhD in order […] The post CQE Study: You Don’t Need a PhD to Work in Quantum […]
